The look is awesome: sexy, comtemporary, stylish, new. Love the interior and GPS is beyond the pale. Great resolution and features. Taking time to learn to get full advantage 'cause I am going to try to get my money's worth.

My major concern to choose this car was the comfort and quiet ride, and gas mileage. So I researched and had test drives on ES 350, MB 300's, BMW 325, but excluded G35.

If you're looking for a comfort and quiet ride. Buy ES-350.
ES-350 is the best in comfort and quietness.
Handling is quite good though it's not same as MB or BMW's rear wheel driven cars. But again, my main concern was comfort and quietness.

GAS mileage is very good. my first tank average is 24.7 miles (City and HWY combined). It ran 470 miles before empty empty. some folks who do not get a good GAS mileage need to change GAS; Shell, BP, Chevron, Sunoco ... these are good GAS. I discovered that good GAS provides more mileage... about 3~4 miles per gallon.

One thing I do not like is that I have to use GAS Octane 89 or 91. Dealer confirmed that 89 will be good. but still $0.10~15/G higher than regular.

I love my new ES-350.

Debated long about MB 300. too little interior room. ES350 feels like a lemo by comparison.

Trans is real smooth.

I was owend ES300 2002 for six and half years i did`nt complained from any thing it was great .
Now with ES350 2008 it`s unbilievible with comfort interior, the seats ventelation and heating, the tft buildin tft screen with its functions are amazing, the engine horsepower and the tourqe are more powerfull, smoothy riding, interior space is bigger, just the outside front apperance is not so much likly,

My Lexus is unbelievable! I love the automatic information as to mpg although I DO drive 60-65 and much of it is on expressways! I use regular gas and am thrilled with the way my car handles!

This is second Lexus I had. The first one is 2000 RX, now 2008 ES 350
the great car, really comfortable and fast too. I did test drive many car before but this Lexus ES 350 is the best. Only one thing i don't like is no door moulding but i think maybe the style that way.
My next car is SC 430. That is my dream car .

In 2007 I bought the Lexus IS 250. I like the body and the style. But to my suprise, the gas milage was not that good, and the interior was VERY small. NO leg room. So after 10 months I traded in the IS 250 for the ES 350 and this was the best thing I could have done. I like everything about the ES 350; the only thing I wish for is better gas milage. While the milage is not bad, I think I take notice of it because of the high price of GAS. I'm very happy I made the switch.

I've had my ES350 for about a month now and I am very impressed with the quietness and smooth ride. The car is very comfortable and the ride is very sedate. If you're looking for road feel, this may not be the car for you. Sometimes it's difficult to realize how fast you're traveling because of the quietness and smoothness of the suspension.

Leased a ES350 one month after My wife bought an RX 350. Love them both. I had a 2005 Toyota Avalon. The ES 350 is in the same price range but a much better ride. Room is about the same. Overall finish, paint, etc is better on the Lexus

Over I like the car. I got a white one and I don't like the color and they $4,000 to repaint it which I didn't want to spend since my payment is already $650 per month. The interior is very nice although the cd is not smooth. The sound system is very loud and is great on a long trip. I like the luggage room, but I had difficutly getting the spare tire out. I thought I had a flat, but actually I was just low on air.
Its difficult to operate the sun roof. The buttons are not located well and are hard to understand. I think a hand crank one would be better.
